The Nike Air Jordan 9 IX Retro White/ BlackTrue Red was released on May 4, 2002. They feature a beautiful colorway, which consisted of a white leather upper surrounded by grey durabuck, which features metallic specs which really shine when hit by light. The french blue accents, seen on the tongue, lacing eyelets, and Jumpman logo are all nice touches. Asides from being aesthetically pleasing, the shoe features some really nice technology, including a dynamic.
